Abstract
A call request is processed by first determining at a shared transport Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism an occupancy of each of a plurality of technology-specific CAC mechanisms. If one of the plurality of technology-specific CAC mechanisms is not being utilized, transport bandwidth associated with the one of the plurality of technology-specific CAC mechanisms that is not being utilized is assigned to a second of the plurality of technology-specific CAC mechanisms.
